Elite coaching special - Clyde Hart coach to Michael Johnson and Jeremy Wariner
Faster work and injuries
Clyde has had to work out ways to ensure the athletes reach the races fit – and that includes injury free.
Clyde said: "This system was working for him [Michael Johnson] but he was getting hurt doing 150m to 100m one day a week. So we changed his stretching and weight room routine. By 1990 he was injury free. Michael only ran 100m twice. He ran 10.11sec in the prelims at Waco but hurt his hamstring before he ran the final. At Knoxville he wanted to run the 100m, he ran 10.08sec but injured his hamstring again. That is why he never ran a lot of 100ms. From 100m to 400m is too far apart.
"We decided that nothing was to be all out except the relay exchange practices and starts. We would go from 15m to 60m run hard off blocks on the bend prior to competition. Other than that it was 400m type workouts.
"We did some 150m build ups or 50m hard, 50m relax, hard 50m."
"He didn't do a lot of speed work, he did a lot of hard work. The rest of them were doing the same workouts.”
Clyde was asked about Johnson’s training before running 19.32sec for 200m and said that this was still the case then.
Clyde said Johnson would not go flat out in training and that it was not desirable to do so: "We were not trying to set world records [in training] we were interested in getting fast. Michael Johnson can't run as fast as he can race in training. It has got to be submaximal. You need to slow it down and get more work done. I have nothing against doing faster 200m intervals but it can be done the other way.
"We don't do full racing speed or time trials but after training we will do 4 x 40m hard with 30sec rest. I tell them that's their reward for a good workout.”
